Time to focus on Jesus and Easter. We can't let Him get lost in our world's current events!

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are each writer's accounts of what they saw and did during Jesus' life and death. All of them are similar, but each has his own spin on what happened.

I was sharing with a friend recently about an account in Matthew, which I don't think is recorded in the other three, concerning Jesus' death:

"Then Jesus shouted out again, dismissed His spirit, and died.
"And look! The curtain including the Holiest Place in the Temple was split apart from top to bottom; and the earth shook; and rocks broke, and tombs opened, and many godly men and women who had died came back to life again. After Jesus' resurrection, they left the cemetery and went into Jerusalem, and appeared to many people there."
~ Matthew 27:50 - 53 LAB

Bible Commentary on these verses: "Christ's death was accompanied by at least four miraculous events: darkness during the day; the splitting of the curtain in the Temple; an earthquake; and dead people rising from their tombs. Jesus' death, therefore, could not have gone unnoticed. Everyone knew something significant had happened."

What a miracle working God we serve and worship! God, You have GOT THIS!
